Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to study how using acceptance and value based group intervention helps the wellbeing of teenagers with type in diabetes. The investigators created an ACT-group intervention consisting of five sessions, based on earlier research. 12-16 years- old diabetics who are treated at KSSHP pediatric policlinic are invited to join the groups. The participants are randomized to research and control groups. The HbA1c-level is monitored for both groups as well as the psychological flexibility, diabetes related acceptance, depression and quality of life.
